To help alleviate the boredom of lockdown I looked around for a project and decided to try and get some IWS brackets made up.

With the help of Surpmil and Pete Laidlericon I was able to get hold of the original drawings, not perfect, but near enough to work from.

I produced new drawings from them and had a CAD file done producing 3D images and some CNC computer files.

The brackets arrived with me today, in the white but phosphated. They appear to be spot on, they match and line up with an original bracket in every way. I had 10 made.

Just waiting to try one on an L42 on Wednesday (because mine is in storage), then they will be advertised for sale.

It was a fun project which worked out much better than I could have hoped, and flash to bang time was 11 weeks from idea to finished articles.
